Why is my engine so warm?
While driving in hot weather is a common cause of engine overheating, it’s not the only factor. Low water and/or coolant level or a cooling system leak are other reasons that your car engine can overheat. You may also be experiencing a failing water pump or thermostat.
Why is my coolant warm?
A common cause of car overheating is a low-cost thermostat stuck closed, restricting coolant flow. Low engine coolant level. A blown head gasket can be the cause or the result of car overheating issues. Coolant can leak out, air gets sucked in, and the engine temperature needle wraps around to full hot.
What does a VW Cabrio do when its cold?
I have a 2000 VW Cabrio with 60,000 miles on it and it does the same thing when the engine is cold. It’s the computer transmission fluid sensor malfunctioning. There’s nothing wrong with the transmission. Try warming up your car first. That seems to work.
When did I start having problems with my 1998 cabriolet?
In 2005 I started having problems shifing my 1998 Used Cabrio, I had to bring it to over 3,000 RPM’s and then back off the accelerator to shift to 2nd and over 4,000 back off to shift to 3rd. I brought it to a dealership (I hate the dealerships), they said that the transmission memorizes the driver and they reset the codes.
Why does my 99 Cabrio make a noise?

How much does it cost to rebuild a transmission on a 98 Cabrio?
I put it off and just last week brought it to Aamco who investigated through Volkswagon and found out that the 98 Cabrio was a test for this transmission module which memorizes the driver. He replaced it with a new module and also discovered because I drove it and shifted mannually that I need my transmission rebuilt, total cost $ 3,400.
